Hi Everyone,
Its that time again, and we have decided to build a owner build a new house in WA (thread to come once I scan the drawings).
We are intending to have approx 160m2 of polished concrete right through the middle of the house. Also we have around 220m2 of regular grey concrete to do.
I was looking for any insight on how the slab should be poured, as this would involve 2 different concrete contractors, and would be very hard to arrange to be done the same day.
Does anyone know how to go about laying a 2-part slab say, 2 weeks apart, expecially to minimise cracking/seperation and also with termite management?
Or would be solution be to lay a complete slab, with the room to be polished sunken ~150mm into the ground, then to come in and fill this room in with the colored (and much more expensive) concrete for polishing later?
Hoping someone who has a nice polished room in a recent build has some idea how the builder did the job
Thanks,
Russ
